Configure a SQL Server Policy Store

Policy Servers installed on either Windows or UNIX systems can use a single SQL Server database to function as a:

• policy store
• key store
• token store
• session store
• logging database

Using a single database simplifies administration tasks. The following sections provide instruction on how to configure a single database server to store SiteMinder data.

Note: The database must be installed on a Windows system. Additionally, the SiteMinder schema files are installed with the Policy Server. If the Policy Server is installed on a UNIX system, copy the schema files from <siteminder_home>/db/SQL directory to a temporary directory (C:\temp) on the Windows system to which the database is installed.
